  • Implement corrective actions for mechanical system faults and ensure all systems are operating optimally before final acceptance.
• 
  Performance Validation & Testing:
  • Perform and document mechanical performance testing, including thermal expansion assessments, pressure tests, and system flow tests.
  • Analyze test data to ensure compliance with performance standards, efficiency, and safety requirements.
  • Validate that mechanical systems are integrated properly with control systems and auxiliary equipment.
• 
  Documentation & Reporting:
  • Prepare and maintain detailed records of all mechanical commissioning activities, inspections, and test results.
  • Produce clear commissioning reports, documenting mechanical performance, any adjustments or repairs, and the final status of systems.
  • Ensure all documentation is in compliance with project standards and Siemens specifications, and properly archived for future reference.
• 
  Collaboration & Coordination:
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including project managers, electrical engineers, and external vendors, to ensure smooth project execution.
  • Provide on-site technical support to the team, including mentoring junior engineers and technicians on mechanical commissioning best practices.
  • Communicate with Siemens technical support for advanced troubleshooting and solutions for complex mechanical issues.
• 
  Safety & Compliance:
  • Ensure all mechanical commissioning activities adhere to safety protocols, industry regulations, and environmental standards.
  • Promote a safety-first culture during all commissioning operations, identifying and mitigating risks associated with mechanical systems.

Qualifications:

• 
  Education:
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• 
  Experience:
  • Minimum of [X] years of experience in mechanical commissioning, particularly with Siemens SST400 steam turbines or similar turbine models.
  • Hands-on experience with mechanical systems in power plants or industrial settings, including turbine rotor assembly, bearings, valves, and steam piping.
  • Proven ability to troubleshoot and resolve mechanical issues during commissioning and startup phases.
• 
  Skills:
  • Strong technical knowledge of mechanical systems in steam turbine plants, including vibration analysis, alignment procedures, thermal expansion, and pressure testing.
  • Proficient in interpreting mechanical drawings, technical manuals, and commissioning procedures.
  • Excellent problem-solving abilities, with a keen attention to detail and accuracy.
  • Effective communication skills to interact with cross-functional teams and provide clear reports.
• 
  Certifications:
  • Relevant industry certifications or training related to steam turbines (e.g., Siemens turbine-specific training, vibration analysis certifications) are highly desirable.
• 
  Language:
  • Proficiency in English (both written and spoken) is required.

Physical Requirements:

• Ability to work in industrial and sometimes challenging environments, including working at heights or in confined spaces.
• Willingness to travel to various job sites as required for commissioning activities.
• Physical ability to lift heavy mechanical components, carry out inspections, and assist in system installations.
